Chapter 530: Chapter 531

“Shh... Keep your voice down. She might hear you.”

Stella wondered if they were deliberately speaking loud for her to hear. She had heard everything they said clearly. Even so, she remained impassive and let them say what they wanted.

What she did not know was that her indifference was a unique sight in the eyes of others.

The dress she wore today made her seem like an angel from heaven. She usually wore simple and elegant clothes, but this red dress made her look charming and hot.

Despite her look, the air of indifference to the world around her stood out. The contradiction made her seem like a fragile beauty. It made others unable to look away from her.

That was what Yates saw.

He saw Stella standing there surrounded by those people who mocked her. However, she simply ignored them and did her own thing.

At that instance, he had a strong urge to walk over to her. That was what he thought and did.

When she was in deep trouble earlier, he did not lend a helping hand. This time, Yates did not choose to ignore it.

Before Brooke could react, he saw Yates walking straight toward Stella.

“Yates! Are you crazy? What are you doing?”

Yates ignored him. He walked to Stella and greeted her with the standard gentleman’s salute.

“Beautiful lady, would you dance with me?”

Stella was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Yates to invite her for a dance and immediately refused him without thinking much. “Don‘t bother if you‘re just

trying to help. If you dance with me now, you‘ll get into trouble...”

Yates, who was reaching his hand out, stopped abruptly. He did not expect Stella‘s rejection.

He smiled helplessly. “I‘ve already walked to you. Isn‘t it more embarrassing to be rejected?”

Stella said, “No one‘s watching now. It‘s not too late for you to leave. Besides, your manager, Brooke, is angry...”

Yates deliberately avoided looking at Brooke. He stubbornly held his hand in front of her and said, “Dan ce with me.”

Stella hesitated and looked around. She saw no one was looking, so she lowered her voice and said to him, “I‘m serious… I don’t want to make things more complicated.”

If she danced with Yates at such a time, she could already imagine the negative comments that would engulf

her later.

Yates seemed to be very stubborn and reckless. For once, he felt impulsive and desperately wanted to ask her to dance with him.

Brooke had come over and said behind Yates, “Did you drink too much? Excuse me, Ella. I‘ll take him back now.”

“Okay.” Stella had no objections.

Yates finally sobered a little and gave Brooke a reluctant look. In the end, he said nothing and withdrew his hand.

It was hard to muster the courage, but Stella‘s coldness had dashed all his courage.

After they left, others finally noticed the commotion here.

Someone sneered, “It seems that no one is willing to invite Ella for a dance. One guy finally came over b The onlookers who were watching the earlier commotion all fell silent. Those who remained were Guinevere‘s bootlickers, so they all attacked Stella verbally.

They could see the two‘s conflict and thought they could win Guinevere‘s favor by belittling Stella.

After one song was over, the dance floor moved on to the next song.

Bradley said something to his partner and walked up to Stella.” Dance with me.”

He said, “May I have this pleasure?”
